Intel does ddr4 and the 6700k uses z-170 mobo, so your mono is incompatible. GPU if you can afford it the 1080 is the best out there as of right now. The nzxt s340 is a decent case for the money and Luke just uploaded a vid about $69 cases aswell

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/xgp89W there. A I7 will be better for some games and got a cheaper mobo because @I_IHaveNoLife_l went with a way over kill board for a I5.

What do you think delivers the best gaming experience also $300-$600 budged.

I'd prefer 21:9 screen cause they are more immersive in gaming than 16:9

Plus windows's resolution scaling at 4K is going to be bad

Do research to see if it fits you, considering its your personal rig I would go through extensive research with what has been given to you to see if it fits you. 

 

dont get me wrong I trust most the people on here but it's not their PC it's yours make it your own with advice and personal research ??
